Tape Recruitment (attC × atti recombination). (A) Schematic depicting the experimental setup of cassette insertion assays. Kanamycin resistance (KmR) suicide vector pJP5603 with a attC the site is delivered to the recipient E.coli Strain UB5201 by conjugation. The recipient strain carries a you1 gene, expressed from the inducible PWRONG promoter, and a attI1 site, residing …

Archaea Sport Structures that carry genes among microbes

EEarly arth lifeforms eventually took one of three different paths, forming the domains of Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. These domains have been evolving separately for billions of years. Recent evidence suggests that the boundaries between the three domains are not so clear cut. Studies show that members of different domains can swap genes back and …
